Milos facts

  • General
  • Milos Port
  • Milos Ferries - Updated Jan 2018

Milos is in the Western part of the Cyclades and covers approximately 151km2 (58.3mi2) and in 2001 had 4.771 inhabitants. Only 1/5 is populated. Its capital is Plaka but the towns of Pollonia and Adamas are both larger.

Milos is well known through the famous statue of "Venus de Milo" (currently at the Louvre) and statues of the Greek god Asclepius (now in the British museum). In antiquity the island was prosperous due to its great mineral wealth. Also because of its, now extinct, volcanic activity it has unique beaches like Sarakiniko and Papafragas. Near the settelment of Trypiti one can see the only Christian catacombs in Greece.

Interesting information about Milos can be found through the Greek Travel Pages (GTP) and Wikipedia.

Adamas, which is located inside the great bay which constitutes one of the biggest natural ports of the Mediterranean.

Ferry types operating routes to Milos

Conventional car ferries

These vessels can be divided into two categories: the old ones and the modern ones.

The main differences between them are

  • their cruising speed
  • the quality of accommodation and services provided and
  • the prices

They are usually very big vessels, which also carry vehicles. Their advantages compared to the High Speed vessels, like the catamarans, are that they are more seaworthy, offer more "relaxed" accommodation and cabins and the passengers have the possibility to sit outside and enjoy their cruise around the Greek islands.

Catamarans & Hydrofoils

These vessels are smaller and much faster than conventional ones. Only a few of them can carry vehicles. Their main advantage is that they go twice as fast.
Passengers are usually not allowed to sit outside even though there is some space on some of them. The accommodation inside is a little like a very wide airplane. The better the class, the wider the seat. There are no cabins.
Smoking is not allowed in any inside area of any ship.
